insurance ?

I am looking at a kitfox 4 with a 912. I called the insurance company and was quoted 2500 per year, for a student pilot with 15 hours. Ouch. Does that seam high? It was with regal insurance in Oregon.

I use a company in Montana called Mountain air. About 1200 dollars a year. I have about 800 hours in foxes and some tailwheel in cubs. I fly skis in the winter with no additional charge.

For a student in an experimental tail dragger - I think that rate is in the ballpark. After you have your license and some Kitfox time your rates should come down to around where Wheels indicated.

I hadn't had a cup of coffee yet when I posted. Av8er is right about the "student pilot, experimental" points for your first insurance. I did pay that when I started and I was with Avemco.

Out of currency with a commercial instrument with Ten hours of tailwheel time as they require, I was quoted about 2200 Avemco.

I just renewed the Mangy through Falcon (EAA) with Old Republic Aerospace insurance company. $1011/year with $50k hull.

I'm Private and Instrument with about 600 hours in type.
